Front Sight Blog: You’ve Been Punked [video]

January 20th, 2013

American Gun Owners are being punked!

We are being persecuted, penalized, criminalized, and robbed of our constitutional rights by politicians who fear us simply because we are armed and represent the final, absolute balance of power in our country.

Obama, Biden, Feinstein, Bloomberg and their freedom stealing political cronies are attempting to punk the American people by hiding the TRUTH about the REAL CAUSE of suicidal mass murderers and pointing their fingers at guns. IT IS NOT GUNS!

Watch this video and see the table below for the TRUTH about the cause and increase of mass killings over the last two decades

Want to know the common denominator in EVERY mass shooting of completely innocent people who happened to be in the wrong “Gun Free Zone” at the wrong time?

Look at this revealing table of information…

Whenever you are trying to correct a bad statistic, you must analyze ALL of the factors that may be causing the unacceptable problem you are trying to correct. There may be several factors, but ONE, is the RIGHT TARGET to attack which will cause an immediate correction of the problem.

Find the RIGHT Target, attack it, and the bad statistic immediately and positively responds.

Attack the wrong target and the bad situation will not improve, and in many cases gets worse.

In analyzing statistics of mass shootings, there are several factors (targets) that have been talked about as the cause of the shootings, including access to guns, lack of proper mental health care, violence in movies, television, and video games.

The danger in lumping all of these factors into the “cause” of mass shootings is that it appeases the public and tricks them into thinking “something has been done” but it hides the RIGHT target and mass shootings not only do not stop, they become more frequent and deadlier.

Isn’t that EXACTLY what we have seen over the last 40 years? We have picked the wrong target, because had we selected the right target and attacked it 40 years ago, mass shootings would have stopped. But they have not stopped, they have become more frequent and more deadly.

So what have we targeted as a society to try to stop these mass murders that have clearly been the wrong target?

Guns are the wrong target.

Why?

Because prior to these shootings, there were just as many guns per capita and there was unrestricted access to semiautomatic weapons, even for young adults and kids. But even more evidence that guns are the wrong target is the undeniable fact that in towns, cities, schools, and shopping malls, where guns have been severely restricted and in some cases outright banned, the statistic of murder, HAS NOT DROPPED, IT HAS INCREASED!

Even greater evidence that proves guns are the wrong target is found in towns, cities, schools and shopping malls where law abiding, responsible citizens are allowed to carry concealed weapons. In those areas where guns are the least restricted we see the statistic of murder and violent crime HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY.

So if the RIGHT TARGET IS NOT GUNS, what is the right target?

Well, let’s first look at the other targets being offered up… Violence in TV, Movies and Video Games.

If you are old enough to remember when America did not have kids walking into schools and killing their classmates with guns, then you remember when you could walk to school with your .22 rifle because you were on the school’s rifle team, and prop your rifle up against the cabinet in the back of your classroom. You also likely remember the TV shows and movies you watched as a kid, as well as the games you played with all the other kids…

You watched westerns and war movies that had lots of killing in them. You played Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians.

Remember those games? If you had the money, you had toy cap guns to use and if you didn’t have the money you made toy weapons out of sticks or whatever you could fashion to look like a Tommy Gun or lever action rifle or bow and arrow. And yes, you killed the bad guy every chance you could get. And yes, every now and then someone you shot said you didn’t shoot him and it might lead to an argument, a wrestling match or a few punches thrown to settle it. BUT YOU NEVER, EVER THOUGHT OF GRABBING THE REAL GUN that was unlocked and readily accessible in your closet at home, and taking it to school to shoot your classmates.

The TV, movie industry, and video game industry has placed warning labels and age restrictions on violent shows and games, but it has not made a difference in mass shootings. WHY? Because such restrictions, were the WRONG TARGET!

Had that step of restricting violent media been the right target, we would have seen a positive change, a decrease in mass shootings, and we have not.

WHY have we NOT seen a change in mass shootings after restricting violent media from our youth? Because kids and young adults KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between a violent TV show, movie or video game and real life, just as you and I did 40 or more years ago when we played, Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, and GI Joe.

So that leaves improving mental health care as the only remaining target that has been talked about as a solution to stop mass shootings. Believe it or not, lawmakers are suggesting the cause of these mass shootings is the inability of the State to involuntarily commit people who show signs of mental illness!

Do you see the inherent insanity in such a target? With a government already gone wild in stripping freedoms and privacy after 9/11, now there are actually lawmakers talking about increasing the power of the government to involuntarily commit (that means against your will) citizens to a mental institution! Remember the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?

These are the same lawmakers who champion gun control laws and banning violent media content as the solution to stop mass shootings. They say that due to lack of funding, we have released so many “crazy” people from mental institution into the streets, which has caused the increase in mass shootings.

Really? How many mass shooters have been homeless, mental derelicts who lacked a psychiatrist treating them and prescribing them medication? NOT ONE.

So if the RIGHT TARGET to stop mass shootings is NOT GUNS, and it is NOT VIOLENT MEDIA, and it is NOT MORE MENTAL HEATLH CARE, then WHAT IS IT?

To find the RIGHT TARGET look to see what CHANGES took place in society when mass shootings first began and what has increased in society directly and proportionally to the increase in mass shootings, even during the same time when strong actions and restrictions against guns and violent media were being implemented to stop the mass shootings.

The answer, the common denominator, the RIGHT TARGET in the ever increasing number of mass shootings was and continued to be the creation of strong, mind altering, psychiatric drugs by the pharmaceutical companies and their systematic pushing of these drugs to our children and youth through our public school system. These drugs create the monsters who are killing their parents, teachers and schoolmates.

I recognized psych drugs being pushed on our youth as the right target after the Columbine shootings. I stated it then and I have stated it after every mass shooting since and guess what, EVERY SHOOTER has been under psychiatric care, taking these powerful, mind altering drugs that are scientifically proven to create homicidal and suicidal urges in those being prescribed these drugs!

It is the RIGHT TARGET. Ban the prescription and distribution of these strong, mind altering drugs and as a society we will not have drug induced assassins killing innocent people.

Of course to do so, would take multi-billions of dollars in ridiculous profits from the pharmaceutical companies who through their relentless “lobbying” in Washington, DC have managed to not only stay in business when all evidence points at their product as the root cause of these mass shootings, they also convinced Congress years ago to pass legislation allowing the blatant advertising of antidepressant drugs on TV, radio, Internet, newspapers and magazines.

Now you understand one of the reasons why members of Congress, who receive huge political contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, avoid attacking the RIGHT TARGET, psych drugs, and continue to point fingers at the wrong target… your guns.

If we truly want to stop mass shootings, we have to ban the prescription and distribution of these strong, mind altering drugs and as a society we will not have drug induced assassins killing innocent people. At the same time, we must strengthen those aspects of society that have statistically provided a positive reduction in violent crime. Namely, allow the law abiding responsible citizenry to carry concealed weapons to protect against mass shootings.

New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles… the big cities, with the strictest gun control have the highest murder and violent crime rates. Allow law abiding, responsible citizen to be trained to carry a concealed weapon and those same cities with the highest murder and crime rates will see an immediate and permanent reduction in violent crime and murder as all the other towns and cities across America have seen when they allowed their citizens to carry concealed weapons.

I have been preaching this for years. Direct our lawmakers to the RIGHT TARGET. IT’S NOT GUNS!

And never forget what gun control is REALLY about. It is not about controlling guns, it is about controlling people.

Lawmakers who want to disarm you really want to control you. History is full of governments who first registered guns, then confiscated guns, then rounded up and systematically killed those who the government deemed were trouble makers…

170 million of them!

Here is one of the 170 million.

What must she have done to warrant experiencing the historically proven, natural progression of GUN CONTROL?

Did she practice a religion that no longer had the Government’s favor?

Did she speak out against the Government?

Did she not pay her taxes?

Did she have too many children?

Did she get caught with an assault rifle?

Whatever she did, she is one of over 170 million people who have been exterminated by their governments, AFTER the governments enacted strict gun control to disarm their populations.

Can’t happen here? WHY NOT?

I’ll bet she didn’t think it could happen to her, in her country, in her lifetime either.

The POWER we give away to the Government TODAY, by allowing them to take away our rights and ability to defend ourselves against enemies foreign and domestic, WILL BE USED ON US TOMORROW. It is not a question of IF, but rather a question of WHEN.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely!

STUDY YOUR HISTORY. Here it is…

Watch the documentary Innocents Betrayed, I co-produced with Aaron Zelman of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. I co-produced Innocents Betrayed because it dramatically and irrefutably documents the direct connections between government gun control schemes and the subsequent genocides that have taken the lives of over 170 million people!

This is a must-see DVD because it contains documented, proven facts of history that even the most ardent gun control fanatic cannot deny.

Watch Innocents Betrayed today and send this e-mail to everyone you know.

Here is What WE, as American Gun Owners MUST Do….

3 Steps to Kill Biden/Obama Gun Control Schemes

Here is how Gun Control starts… with a BIG LIE. Watch how Obama hoodwinked Democratic gun owners into voting for him…

Here is how Gun Control grows… Watch this video to see Joe Biden make a statement that paints Obama with the blood of thousands of good, law abiding, responsible citizens…

Yes, you heard it right. Biden made the statement, “As the President said, if our actions result in only saving one life, they are worth taking.”

It is hard to believe that the two people elected to the highest office in the land cannot formulate an argument for gun control better than using that worn out, utterly ridiculous, “if it saves just one life…” mantra of moronic gun control fanatics.

Anyone who has a rational thought running thought their heads these days, knows that saving one life by enacting Gun Control will kill THOUSANDS of law abiding, responsible citizens who use guns EVERY YEAR to justifiably defend themselves in lethal encounters.

The BIG LIE is it that Gun Control not about saving just one life. It is about taking away the rights of ALL citizens to defend themselves against enemies, foreign and domestic.

It is time to wake up America and educate them to understand that when we allow Gun Control, we simply shift the balance of power on the street to the criminals. And worse, we grant ABSOLUTE power to the Government.

If we do not learn from the mistakes of 170 million dead, at some point in the future, our children or our grandchildren will pay the absolute price for our inaction and apathy today.

ACT TODAY!

Here are the 3 Steps to Kill Biden/Obama Gun Control Schemes…

Step 1: Watch this video as it is yet another GREAT explanation of the REAL situation in America and it exposes gun grabbing, freedom stealing, fear mongers like Biden and Obama for what they really are: Bad actors who try to appear sincere and empathetic but are really just opportunistic vultures exploiting our dead children to further strip us of our ability to resist their corruption, after yet another Mass Murder in the Gun Free Zones they have created. Watch this…

So violent crime and murder rates have dropped 50% and nobody is taking credit for that… Well I will tell you WHY there has been a 50% reduction in violent crime and murder in the US since 1992.

Florida started it off in 1987 and immediately saw that the issuance of Concealed Carry Permits actually reduced violent crime and murder rates. Other states followed with more and more states adopting Shall Issue Concealed Carry for its responsible, law abiding citizens.

And thus began a trend of nearly all states adopting Shall Issue Concealed Carry for its citizens, (with the notable exceptions of those states like Illinois, New York, Washington DC and a few others) that brings us today to a 50% drop in violent crime and murder rates, making the United States 3 times safer than Gun Free, Not So Great Britain… ALL WHILE MILLIONS MORE GUNS have been manufactured and distributed into the hands of US citizens each year!

Our violent crime rate would be EVEN SMALLER if we did not suffer from the lunatics in office who enact strict gun control in our big cities, causing murder rates to exceed bona fide war zones!

Step 2: It is time to contact the White House and our Congressional Representatives EVERY DAY, DAY IN AND DAY OUT until this gun control nonsense DIES. It will die, if we do our part.

There is only one thing these politicians care about more than anything else… being re-elected. Make sure they understand that if they allow ANY new gun control to pass, you will devote time and money to see them replaced in their next election cycle.

Remind them of the losses the Democrats sustained in 2010 and what happened after the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 when gun owners sought revenge at the voting booth resulting in the Republicans taking the House of Representatives from the Democrats in the 1994 Congressional Elections. It WILL happen again if politicians don’t heed our warning make the same mistake again.
